Pot head's lament
Brujo Alligatore Aug 2015
Wake up, yesterday was disappointing
Didn't get **** done
Now gotta jam hard and get lucky
Or it'll all fall apart
Falling
Fell
Just get ****** so you don't mind ******* it all up
****
What am I doing again?
Brujo Alligatore Aug 2015
I hate money
But I love everything.
I'd rather anything so I always blow money
So they stop giving me everything.
I hate money
But I love everything

Try, White Guy
Brujo Alligatore Aug 2015
No harm to come
From feeling for for clues

Walk the miles
In your best pair of empathy shoes
Me, I'm white.... Im not singling out others
It's about my struggles to totally hear and listen about Black Lives Matter! & genocide of the native Americans, etc
Brujo Alligatore Jul 2015
Living with
Crushing fear
A variety of nuclear disasters
Are inevitable
Mistake or sabotage
Away

Ever trusting guys-in-charge
Won't pull that trigger
this crushing moment of fear
Brujo Alligatore Jul 2015
She says, "I'm annoyed by your breathing, you smell bad, you look like a wreck."

He wakes up and rolls over toward her, squinting. His ears and brain just begin to communicate. He realizes she just said something and he completely missed it. He decides to pretend he heard it.
He smiles and touches her waist.

She thinks, "He likes me to be mean to him?" and smiles, completely giving up on him.

He thinks, "She's smiling. She just wanted me to touch her." He smiles and falls back asleep.
Not a poem but

If you're ever reaching for the words
To make fun of a guy like me
Say
"Hey there pothead with ADD,
I dare you to show me where you've put your key"
Brujo Alligatore Jun 2015
There is only one certainty.
Adding "and taxes" is
A spoon full of sugar.
Brujo Alligatore Jun 2015
Here he comes, Red the ***
Asking directions to where the ramblers are from.
He's not worried who hears when he laughs loud and cries.
Nobody frowns if he fails when he flies.
Wandering he provides us while he's manic and magic.
Experiences recorded in the Encyclopedia Akashic.

In the Other Dimension
Brujo Alligatore Jun 2015
I must have missed a bus
Or slept all day when I should have gotten up
In this dimension.
Everything is familiar but wrong.
I was supposed to be doing something else.
I'm sure I met them
Or did that
In the other dimension.

Hugging a book,
Think I should be Reading, not hugging.
Must be doing that in the other dimension.

My Fear Based Religion
Brujo Alligatore Jun 2015
All my smart buddies
Sit around dreading the apocalypse.
Nukes, climate change, virus, asteroid.

The weird freaky creators
(with their motives we cannot know by design)
Want us to be freaked out about doom.
Want us to LOVE life.
And want us to dread utter doom of all creation
Even worse than we dread our own demise.
We are driven to be clever,
Driven to fear death,
Driven to Love all of creation.
Why should we?
Fear our collective ability to destroy
Beautiful creation!
Fear this collective ability!
Shun the clever destructive trap of
"profit"
Fear this virtue, this evil
Profit is the evil virtue!
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Step1. Competition serves a purpose. You shouldn't be so bitter about your whole [how it is].
2. Yeah? I believe you. Serving a purpose is a good enough reason not to hate a thing. I don't even hate me and I'm pretty sure I serve no purpose.
3. I thought you'd fight me on that.
4. Nah, I'm just not that competitive.
I know it's not a poem. Yet. I just don't want to forget it and I can poem it up later and you probably wouldn't even recognize it.

A Cycle
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Wake up excited
Maybe a dream or a plot got some chemicals squirting in the brain.
The squirt feels good so the idea rings "true"
The meat mouth starts enjoying getting to say stuff.
Post, write, draw, paint, converse
Everything for the latest greatest idea.
And something becomes familiar.
Oh, it was the latest idea.
"My brain was just high on Enthusiasm"TM
(now available from Monsanto)

Just another pointless bout of enthusiasm?
Oh that never goes anywhere.
"I'm going to bed."
Like that
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Person 1: "You arent satisfied with me."
Person 2: "No way! It's you who aren't satisfied with me."

Person 3 supposed he was grateful for his selfish gal.
She only cared whether she was satisfied.
He was lonely but things made sense.
I'll make it more clear later, but something like that idea
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
two Buddies reunite
1. Diamond Rambler-so hard you'll never stop her from rambling
2. Ardent Materialist-so skeptical, he'll argue against himself being "real"

Soon after arrival,
The ritual of showing the other their favorite belonging,
But there was literally nothing.
Both of their favorite thing was "nothing"
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Flat like a snake
Like a field
Like an ocean
Like the top of a mushroom,
Parallel to the surface of earth
Not perpendicular
******* perpendicular freaks!
Horizontal!
Horizontal!
Having fun pretending I'm deluded, please don't send the police.
Vertical rules! Up with vertical!
(Don't tell the authorities, I'm not actually patriotic, racist, sexist or religious about vertical or horizontal in any way!!!)

Read the entry on decomposition.
Disagree? Go see your physician.
I thought I should do this for the spiritual value of belittling myself
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
I don't want to rhyme with decomposition
All of it is too corny
But how sad.
Decomposition is where I'm headed.
And the idea of the process is so full of poetic juice,
But rhyming with that word would cheapen it.
As would a pun about de-composing this poem.
just **** yourself and make an appointment with your physician.
[******* emoji]
Alternate title: Ode to the 'Decomposition' wiki (no seriously read the decomposition wiki entry. It's fascinating!)
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
It's nice to have
That "I love everything" chemical
Pass by the receptors.
Who knows what triggers it
Or if my brain can make more.
But it's my fav.

Clarity me Bring
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Clarity seen from chaos
Just something good but not sure why
Everything moves too fast to keep it straight
But something called,
"Making sense" almost makes.

Jeehosaphat's Goofy Gospel
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
The Lord Gosh hasn't time or attention span to record everything.
That is why it gave us special brain chemicals that fire when sincere laughter occurs.
That is the trigger to record.
Gosh creates life forms so joyful or funny things can go on its compilation.
Big bangs happen and new combinations for life unfold.
All that is retained from the last crunch is what makes it to the compilation.
We humans are farmed for joy and delight, like all beings,
Even the holy octo-beasts made in the image of Gosh itself.
Rough translation from psychedelic transmission
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Um looooooo(yodeling)nely prairieeee
Dissolve my self
Into the pond
Into the ocean
Pour the ocean into the swirl

When my meat lets go of its order,
Let me in the swirl.

If my thoughts and sensations were recorded or something,
Sorry I spent so much time jerking off.

I'd have done better if you'd have showed me the point or the line.
I figure I'm not expected to do nothing.
I guess I thought I was just supposed to be doing "time"...
Out here on the lone prairièéêëeēėe
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Here he comes, Red the ***
Asking the cosmos directions to where the ramblers are from.
His bright pink nose is smart and weird.
Intoxicant residue in his wiggly orange beard.
He's not saddled with a fiefdom,
Or boredom or wifedom.
He's not embarrassed when he's alone so he laughs loud and cries.
Nobody frowns if he fails when he flies.
Wandering he provides us while he's manic and magic.
He records the experiences in the Encyclopedia Akashic.
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Ohhhhhhhh I
Didn't give a ****
And I shouldn't give a ****
So I don't give a ****
And I'll never give a ****
I guess I'm trying to remind myself of my spiritual commitment

Who's there?
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
You can't even say anything true can you?
Nope and I've finally made enough progress to think it could never be otherwise.
So can you give a reason or is it just the loose weave that's faded all your details and energy?
A reason: I am a false entity and my rambling bundle of perceptions and explanations have been assembled by this false entity.
A true thing: me
Nobody can rob me of the concept that I am something.
Rob me, please.
Categorize my thoughts.
I'm weary from false order.
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Beauty: Let me go!!
Beast: Hold on. We're making progress!

Asshole Socrates
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
If he doesn't agree with you, he doesn't say so directly. He passive-aggressively asks you questions hinting at his opinion. Then he acts like he's superior since all he does is ask questions.
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Monkeys paint if you give them paint, you know.
Talented monkeys get better and better
Sometimes they develop a style.
But if you reward them for painting,
They all start to do as little as possible for the reward.
They place one uninspired smudge and turn it in.
They don't ever paint just for interest any more,
once they start getting rewards.

Rigmarole, all of it
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Deep deepy deep deepy deep deep down
I believe there's NO WAY anybody even gets what's going on "really" yet.
God, creator, purpose, metaphysics... We just gotta tell ourselves something to shut up the wondering so we can get on with survival and reproduction, and maybe even comfort enhancement.
Go ahead and **** your thumb with certainty, but I KNOW none of us even get it AT ALL.
Model T on the moon.
Eventually you figure out how to make it vroom
But why is it there?
Like me here.
Why?
Survey says: No reason relevent to my frame of reference,
I'm guessing.
That's my rigmarole.
Not worth a bit of "Reality."

Model T on the Moon
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
Wake up.
Alone.
What's going on?
What am I?
Where am I?
Am I supposed to be doing something?
How do I follow my programming?
If I rebel and go against the programming, who am I disappointing?
What the **** is going on?
This model T is on the moon.
How did it get here?
I know how to figure out the machine and make it go vroom.
But I don't see where it tells me what-for?

Who put me here?
What do they mean for me to do?

Somebody goofed and shipped a whole crate of LIFE over here, but forgot to include the instructions regarding the point of it all.

Assigned Seats, PLEASE
Brujo Alligatore May 2015
I'm ok
So long as I remember to shhhh.
I get so ******* embarrassed
If I get noticed doing anything
Intending anything.

If I have to choose where to stand
Or who to sit with on a couch,
My brain sizzles and I can't move
I'm stopped up with shame

I like ending up places,
Speak only when I need to say something
I don't want to decide.
I hate choosing anything.

I'm great at dealing with
What I'm given.

I love to sit near anybody.
The lepper, the charming dude, the sweet lady, just don't make me pick!!!!!!!

Some wise dude: "Usually the best thing to find is something other than the thing you're looking for."

Reasonable guy: "Seriously? What am I supposed to do? Look for a thing I'm not looking for?."

The Wise:
"Just go ahead and look for something. You'll find something else and THAT will be good."
¿**** it?
Sure, and then take it seriously

Dearly Beloved, I (being of sound mind) have no hope about racism, war, or the environment. I couldn't bear to tell you while I was alive. Sorry but that's It kids.

It was a sham.
I guess I'm dumb.
I joined a cult.
I really did.
I thought I was smart.
I joined a cult
And stayed seventeen years.
And had children.
And gave my kids and my own youth to a cult.
I can finally swallow it.
The fact!
They didn't love me.
They used me up.
Me, like a masochistic **** actress.
Eager to be used, hungry to be ruined.

I'm lucky I'm ok.
It's not because I'm smart.
Or really changed
I wish to give myself
So thoroughly.
I wish a cult would love me for my absolute abandon
Of self.
Sorry for the earnest, I can't make it clever quite yet

And feel proud of their concern.

But it must be unsung.

Don't build him up
Or he'll get re-undone

Hello!
I'm pretty sure 3 dimensional space is an illusion that helps my thinker tell my meat how to interact.
I'm pretty sure the phenomenon I call time is something other than what I comprehend, but it's something.
Hello everything!
I'm enjoying rotating around in existence with you!!!
Whatever the point is, "Hello!!!".

Brujo Alligatore Apr 2015
Love: it wasn't made for us, but for time
I'm sure its purpose is not to make us smile.
Is it just that it conveys some misunderstood message or advantage to our offspring?
Yes, something like that.
We need to think it's for us but it's not.
And only time keeps the knowledge of the point.
And time never says anything to me, it just keeps moving.

Permission slip

Everything acts without my permission, even me.
I know only this talking guy, the PR guy, making faces and excuses for you.
These other appetites and functions serve their purpose, I'm sure.
But they do NOT consult me.
Just as tįmę itself does its bidding
Moving forward without my permission
No. I'm not in control at all.
It's ok. I'm not complaining. Just noticing that it's all a sham, including the concept of being in control of one's own destiny.
